The GaySport website and related
services are a non-profit venture of the European Gay & Lesbian
Sport Federation (EGLSF) . Its aim is to provide a free and independant information service
to the Lesbian, Gay, BiSexual and Transgender (LGBT) community around the world.

About Us

Within the GaySport website and our related services, the following goals are met:

promote gay and lesbian sports

stimulate gays and lesbians to participate into sports in general,
and gay and lesbian sports in particular

promote the creation of new gay and lesbian
sport groups, or
at least sport groups where gays and lesbians are not discriminated against on the
ground of their sexual preferences

promote the organisation of sport events where gays and lesbians
can freely express themselves without hiding their sexual preference

The website and mailinglist, like all other EGLSF projects,
are completely run by volunteers. All people "behind the screens" are committed
to continuously further improving the services for the gay and lesbian sports community.

Lesbian,
Gay, BiSexual & Transgender Sport

You may ask:

The reasons vary from one country to another, since every country
in Europe is different. However, most of us know it is not easy to come out about your
sexuality in a 'regular' sports group. Some may even have been in situations where
they felt harassed, were called names, or worse. They may have felt that by being gay,
lesbian, bisexual or transgender they were not accepted by their fellow club members.

LGBT sports groups experience the same discrimination when they
want to compete in regular events or join existing sports associations. Did you know
that in some countries it isn’t possible to rent a volleyball court if you say
it’s for an LGBT event? We think this is not acceptable. Sport is supposed to
be fun.

We therefore need to work towards a climate in sports where
people can be what they are, of their own free will, whether gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender or straight. The EGLSF works towards that goal, together with LGBT mainstream
organisations, like ILGA and others, as well as with European institutions like the
European Council and the European Union.
